Bicycle,  moving, fresh air, happiness

More time you spent on the bike, the more you will be fit, and if you do not too overreacted, you will also be healthy. But not only that. In addition to endorphin’s molecules that  emitted during intensive effort and things that you are moving on daily light you will get the feel  of happiness.

Light of the sun itself stimulates happiness hormone – serotonin. If you want to get rid of depressing impact of office lighting (300 lux), go out on the air. The power of light on a cloudy day amounts 1000 lux, at the sunny day, this amounts more than 10,000 lux.

Cycling in the afternoon has a strong antidepressant effect and effectively raises the level of serotonin. If this is added to the findings of experts from the University of Stanford, who found that exercise on the light helps to improve rhythm sleeping and help us sleep and to be less worried.

Researchers asked the inactive patients who suffered from insomnia, so they cycling 20 to 30 minutes every second day. The experts concluded that the time before asleep patients were reduced for half, and they slept but one hour longer. It was also reduced the level of stress hormone – cortisol, which resulted a better recovery at night.

Better sleep and less depressing thoughts is just what many people are looking on the way to happiness, self satisfaction and health. Good sleep will help to regenerate the body after a days of cycling efforts.

How to be slim with Bicycle

Most of people think that run is the best exercise for weight loss.
In any case, run is the easiest and most convenient option burning of fat but not for everyone. In particular, it does not apply if you are overweight, in this case the exercise with a bicycle is more efficient. Cycling is one of the exercises, where the basal metabolism when the body burns more, increase a few hours after exercise. When you stepping off the wheel, your body will burn energy a few more hours after exercise .. For this burning effect it is enough already 30 minutes of cycling. Interval training helped even more to the slim line. Research has shown that riders which in the training include intervals of fast driving burns more than three times of fat than those who cycle regularly.

With bike to fresh air

June 4, 2011 admin Outdoor Cycling

Cycle. Bikes can be usually be obtained for free without to much asking around, since buying bikes and then never riding them is fairly common practice in modern  culture.  Cycling is another great way to be fully present in your surroundings, while getting exercise, an endorphin hit, a tan, fresh air, find useful and not so useful things on the side of the road, opportunities to stop and pick fruit (and reach high up fruit by standing on your bike), and it’s so much fun!  Beat the traffic, avoid road rage, make new friends while waiting for the lights to change, and experience the satisfaction of getting around completely under your own power.  Forget waiting for a taxi, asking people for a lift, or missing the last bus home.  Go around the block or around the world.  Did I mention it’s really fun?  I’ve cycled around Austri, Italy and recently spent a month cycling Slovenia, camping in bushland and eating predominantly wild food that was growing along the roadsides.
